iOS 27 will include a nice quality of life improvement for those who frequently share their bills with friends and family, allowing them to easily take a photo of a receipt and generate payment requests for different people, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
The feature will tie into the Wallet app’s peer-to-peer Apple Cash feature, which allows users to easily send money to other people and even make purchases.
Gurman says that Apple intends to announce the new feature “as early as next week” at WWDC, and that it should be included in the upcoming iOS 27 release. Notably, Apple Cash is currently only available in the United States.
The bill sharing feature will be available through the Wallet and Messages apps, and users will be able to approve payments from an Apple Watch.
This feature isn’t the only Apple Wallet improvement coming to iOS 27, as the update will also offer the ability for users to create their own digital passes by scanning items like movie tickets, concert passes, and gym membership cards.
